Journalist Maggie Haberman said former President Trump's language has become “much more apocalyptic” than it was at the beginning of the election.
“For whatever reason, I think his language has gotten much darker and more apocalyptic, and I think there are a number of reasons why it's not possible to threaten people. He stopped caring so much about what it meant,” Haberman said. CNN's Wolf Blitzer spoke on Thursday. situation room.
She highlighted the change in President Trump's rhetoric after Democrats changed party nominees in July.
“He's obsessed with this, Wolf. He continues to believe it's unfair that the Democrats changed candidates,” a New York Times reporter explained. “He believed he essentially had this as a counterweight to Joe Biden.”
The former president has told supporters in recent weeks that he would deploy the National Guard against the “enemy within” and publicly shared plans to seek retribution against those he believes cheated him out of a second term in 2020. .
He also called California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi “evil” people and fired back at the investigation, which they called “a sham.”
“These people are so sick and so evil. If they spent their time making America great again, it would be so easy to make this country great again,” President Trump said. “I'm not threatening anyone. They're the ones who are. They're running a bogus investigation.”
Haberman said that over the past few months, Trump's speech has become longer and more incoherent.
“I think he's very angry. I think a lot has happened this year,” Haberman added. “I think he was convicted in Manhattan. Then he had an assassination attempt and came within millimeters of his life. And then all of a sudden he was facing a new enemy. I think I'm confused by it all.”
